Global Mountain Bike Network #ASKGMBN #askgmbn Hi guys, I’m pretty new to mountain biking and I kind of rushed into buying a bike. I wasn’t sure what size frame I needed and I ended up with a 2020 Cube aim pro 17” 29er and I am 6ft 2”. It wasn’t until I was doing alot of uphill pedaling until I felt uncomfortable. I have the saddle height set correctly. Is there anything else I can do to make the bike suit me better like stem lengths or riser bars ?

@bananasstuff3344 4 года назад

@@shanekenneally1900 you might want a longer stem, although you would compromise elsewhere, riser bars might help. Don't go too expensive with these, but don't go on Amazon etc. Look for deals, although if you need it now then don't go waiting for sales.

I found learning to pump in a pump track help me learn how to jump. I had such a hard time getting any air and the faster I went it never really help but literally 1 hour on a pump track figuring out how to pump transformed my jumping ability I just took that pumping movement to the jump and immediately was getting so much more air. within a month I was jumping 15-foot tabletops consistently so id suggests learning how to get smooth in a pump track then just pump real hard on the take-off you will get air. Lol just don't get overconfident and hit a much bigger jump without walking it and making sure you can see your self clear it....it can result in a broken collar bone speaking from experience lol (just happened a few weeks ago this sucks)

@lukenukem1164 4 года назад

I would honestly say to complete beginners not to try and bunny hop on the take off. Having correct trail speed and staying loose is how I learned at the start, I only began to use a "bunny hop technique " when I was far more confident and wanted more height as well as distance.

@topspot4834 3 года назад

Agreed

@purge8575 3 года назад

Then how am I supposed to do jumps if I shouldn’t do bunny hops first?

@lukenukem1164 3 года назад

@@purge8575 I highly recommend Sam Pilgrims how to jump video. He puts an emphasis on correct trail speed and less of a specific technique and more about staying loose.

@@lukenukem1164 okay thnx I’ll check it out

@rationalthinker9181 3 года назад

To say bunny hops and manuals have anything to do with jumps is to put beginners back 500 years. Jumps are about a well timed compression/preload using your legs not your arms when the bike kicks back just follow the bike and stay relaxed and correct trail speed. Once you can do that then you aren't a beginner anymore. Don't listen to this bunny hop rubbish its an advanced technique to clear jumps where speed alone won't allow you to get the distance. Preload late on the face follow the bike and relax

@@gage4790 i agree i think stay on a hardtail for longer than a month so u learn how to properly ride trails/features because a good bike so soon will kinda do the work for u which will lead to poor technique and overconfidence because the bike is absorbing everything and doing all the work whilst the rider is being carried along hope that made some sense

Hello Neil, I have problem which you mentioned at 5:15, my feet they come off the bike and hovers in the air when I jump. And when I land it slips off the pedals and I crash. That's why I'm always scared of doing jumps. Do you have a proper technique for this specific problem?

@franksmit763 4 года назад

I’m feeling weird. I’ve started mountain biking just over 4 weeks ago and I’m already clearing 15-foot tabletops with exactly these techniques. Yesterday I started trying to move my bike side ways and throw the bars left or right in the air a little bit to get a feel for how that is. All of this feels so smooth. A little too smooth. I can’t help but feeling I’m not actually supposed to be going this fast and gonna have a big crash soon 😅

@herculesmclovin 3 года назад

You've shown how to pop up a jump for max height, but what about squashing a jump? Both are equally important. Poping will increase height and reduce distance, it also means you can match a steeper landing with your wheels. Squashing reduces height and increases distance. Learning both will equip a rider to jump better for each jump as they aren't all straight forward or require a pop.

@kieranfrancis7594 4 года назад

Try practice scooping the bike with your feet. This can be done stationary by standing over the bike with your front foot down. Put your rear pedal foot at the 4-oclock position, apply the rear brake to stop the crank spinning and then lift the bike by scooping the pedal with your rear foot back and up while simultaneously lifting your handlebars. This could help give you and idea of scooping your feet and moving with the bike rather than English bunny-hopping yourself off the bike. Hope this helps!
